l sists, primarily, in the novel h v". and novel vstruction of the said parts. all of which will be more fully described-in the following specilization. and then finally embodied in the clauses of the claim which are appended to and which forni anessential part of the Any subject-matter of the invention hereing shown, but not claimed. is set forth and claimed in anothe application forl Letters Patent tiled by nie on the 12th day of Au- The invention is clearly illustrated'inthe accompanying drawings, in'whicht Figure l is a face or plan view. showing fragmentary portions of two iiies,- onefor the usual hooks and the other for the eyes,

each comprising a base-fabric and covering-istrip stitched thereto in the manner of the present invention, and yprovided at suitable lintervals with fastener-receiving pocket-like portions into which the fasteners are slipped and are retained therein in the manner shown in said figure. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical sectional representation of one of the said flies, said section being taken on line 2--2 in said Fig. l, looking in -the direction of the arrow a'. Fig. 3 is a plan view, showing a fragmentary portion of one of said flies, with the base-fabric and vcovering-strip stitched thereto lin the nianner of the present invention. in readiness v for the fasteners to be slipped in place in the pocket-like receiving portions. Figs. 4,

-5, 6, 7 and 8 are plan views, showing frage inentary portions of the base-fabric and.

vcoveringr-strip illustrating slight modifie tions of the stitching, but still embodying the. principles of the present invention, but the fasteners being omitted from said views.

Similar .characters of reference .are em' ployed in all of the aboveI described views,

to indicate correspondingv parts.

Referring now to the several figures of the `stitchings 5 and 7, are usually made in direc- 'sewed portions .of the covering-strip 1 and drawings, the reference-character 1 indicates the covering-strip and 2 the base-fabric, both being of any suitable material, and be1ng` coni'iec'ted by means of stitching, in the inanner to-be presently fully set forth, to provide a compound strip or Hy. One manner of attaching the said covering-strip 1 to the base-fabric 2 is indicated in Figs. 1, 2, 3

and V5 of the drawings, in which case the covering-strip 1 is provided'along one of its longitudinal marginal edges with a suitable' fold, as 3, or other finished edge, and then g by means of a suitable sewing machine, vor

otherwise, sewing along said edge, \thereby providing a row of stitching, as 4. .cy-it intervals the straighty line of stitching along said edge is interrupted, and the stitching is made at angles, usually at right angles, but not necessarily so, to the mainline of stitching 4, in a direction toward the edge 3,

ledge 3, the stitching 7 continuing for a short distance 'upon the said fold 3, through the coi-'ering-strip 1 and the .base-fabric 2, and then being again angularly turned and continuing in the original direction of the main line of stitching 4f along the marginal edge portion or fold 3, all of which will be clearly evident from an inspection of Figs. 1 and 3 of the drawings. The-1V above "mentioned tions back and fortlnin the form of tackstitching, thereby providing a pair of tied portions,` and consequently a reinforcement at each end of the gap 'formed by the nonthe base-fabric 2, between said 'tacks o1;

tying stitches 5 and 7, as will be clearly understood. In this manner, at suitable intervals, the fold or marginal edge 8 of the covering-strip`1 is not sewed fast to the basefabric 2, thusforming the gaps above-mentioned which provide suitable openings between the pocket-like receiving spaces' between the fastened coverlug-strlp and tic base-fabric, for the purpose to be hereinafter more fully specified.

.At a suitable distance back ofthe fold or marginal edge 3 and the main line of stitching 4, depending upon vthe lengthsof-the h ooksand eyes Ato be slipped in the pocketlike portions, ,and sewed through the'covering-strip .1 andthe base-fabric 2 is a second line of stitching 8, parallel to the main line Fig;` 5 of the drawings.

of stitching 4. At intervals, corresponding to the intervals or gaps formed 1n the mam line of stitching 4, this line of stitching 8 is the line of stitching 8 and in a direction toward'the fold 3, is afstitching 9. The stitching is then'in the form of jump-stitches 1 0, parallel to the jump-stitches 6 and sa1d jump-stitches l0 providing loops which are slightly longer than the width across the shanks of the hooks and eyes, said jumpstitches 10, at the proper point, being again angularly turned in alineme'nt with the stitching 7, through theco'vering-strlp 1 and the base-fabric 2,in a direction rearwardly the proper distance, and is then again turned and continues in the direction o f the stitching 8, in the mannenplearly indicated v1n the several figures of the drawings. AThe sald stitchings 9 and 11 are also preferably made in directions back and forth, in the form of tack stitching, thereby providing a second pair of vtied portions, and consequently a second pair of reinforcements, as will be clearly understood. y. In this manner, as will be fully understood, the said stitchings 9 and 11, in addition to the stitchings 5 and 7, produce'additional pocket-like receiving spaces between the fastened cover-strip 1 and basefabric 2.

The hooks and-eyes are respectivelyin-` dicated by the reference-characters '12 and 13, said hooks'and veyes being readily 'inserted in the pocket-like receivingspaces provided as herein-above described, and as clearly illustrated in Figs. 1 and .2 .of the drawings.4 From .an inspection'of said Figs. 1 and 2, it will also be' seen, thatthe several reinforcing stitchings 5 and 7, and 9 and 11, being disposed so that they closely h ug the shank-portions of the respective hooks and also interrupted, and in alinement with the Y `stitching 5, and extending at an angle from eyes, and lateral ,motion of the insertedhooks' and eyes is positively prevented, the loop-shaped jump-stitches 10, being arranged over the shank-portions of the hooks and eyes, preventing any possible motion of the hooks and eyes 'vertically above t-he upper faces of the fastened cover-strip .1 and the base-fabric 2. M

If desired, an additional line-of stitching, as 14 may be made through the coverstrip 1 and the base-fabric 2, back of the lineof stitching 8, as clearly'indicated in It may also be a'vantageous,'in some instances, to. form the main line of stitching 4, sufficiently back of the fold or marginal edge 3 ofthe coverstrip 1, so that the stitchings 5`and 7 will Anot extend over and beyond the fold (ir edge, and that-the'loop-shaped jumpstitches vwill lie directly upon the upperl face of the said cover-strip 1, as clearly represented in Fig. 1 of the drawings; but, withthemain lines of Sttchings 4- and 8,

rand the tiestitches 5A and 7,v and 9 and 11,

being made directly thro-ugh the cover-strip l and the base-fabric 2, in ,the same mannei' as that represented 11i Figs. 1, 2 'and 3 ofl the drawings,r and as previously desingle stitchngs, as 19v and 20, and 21 and 22 may beI made,'as indicated in Fig. 7 of the drawings.

If desired, as shown in Fig. 8, the straight lines of stitchings 3 and 8 may be provided at suitable intervals with pimp-stitches as 23 and 21, for the provision of suitable gaps, in which the hooks and eyes 'may be arranged in substantially theY same manner as i shown in Figs. 1 and 5 of the drawings.

'-The compound strip or fiy thus provided may kloe-suitably secured in its operative relation upon a garment, as will be clearly evident.

From the foregoing description of the present invention it will be seen that a sime ple, neat land well-appearing fly for garments has been produced, and that the maximum portions of the fasteners, as the hooks and eyes, are covered, except their necessary working ends, so that the danger of rusting` and thereby rendering the garment unsightly and unfit for wear, is

reduced to a minimum.; and, the general'V construction is simplified because of the fact that the fasteners can be easily and quicklv inserted in place in the pocket-like receiving spaces formed between the cover strip and the base-fabric, without the necessity of sewing each fastener independently in positionner by the employment of other means' for securing the fasteners in place, each fastener being retained in its operative position, against wabbling or tilting motion, and against displacement from between the `said cover-strip and basefabric.

' Of course, I am aware, that some changes may be made in they general. arrangements and combinations of the stitchings with the cover-strip and liase-falnic, without departing from the scope of the present inventionw and as defined in the clauses of the claini which are appended to the said specification. Hence, I do not limit inyself to the exact arrangements and combi-V 'nations of the devices and vparts as described in the said specification, and as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
